So what does hack mean? Hack as a verb mean, to break. In computers, it means modifying an computer program, a site or an account usuall skillfully.
Hacking is considered as one of the heinous crimes that destroy or invade private property especially on online sites. Hacking can cause a lot of trouble. I can destroy a person's dignity, personality and literally, own computer hardware hence defining it as to break.
I am a moderator on a Summit Media Forum called Total Girls Philippines. I bet most of you have heard about this kiddie/teen magazine which came from the same company that distributed Candy Mag and W.I.T.C.H Mag.
Anyway, that site has been mostly composed of girls aged 12 and up. The most common age group in that site is fourteen years old.
So the site has been peacefully running with some pasaway kids being moderated and stuff when suddenly, one member acted rather strange. She started bashing against moderators and also started sending rude and offensive messages to random members. This has put the whole forum in worry because that member wasn't that kind of person as we think of it.
And later on, we found out that she has been hacked. At first, we were worried about it but as the hacking continues, a lot of mysterious stuff started to happen involving that hacked member, her boyfriend, her boyfriend's best friend and her boyfrioend's best friend's girlfriend who also happened to be a member of TG.
We started having doubts about those two members and the hacker thinking that they are somehow prettily related to each other and all of them are involved with the hacking.
Things became crazy when another 4 accounts were hacked including one moderators's account. Worse, the hacker leaves viruses on the account owner's computers.
We were slightly alarmed by this issue because the offensive messages sent by the hacker were all with bad words and adult content therefore, putting the innocent kids' minds in a dirty situation. Remember, kids in TG were minors. And the messages sent to them were of adult content. So indeed it was very disturbing.
The issue hasn't been resolved yet as the administrator still hasn't taken any action for the issue yet. But if worse comes to worse, there's a huge possibility that the site will either shut down or restart.
I just have one question if indeed that hacker exists. Why was he doing it and what were his intentions? This hacking has put kids' minds in terrible worry and of course, it'll cost those hacked accounts a lot of money to have their computers fixed for viruses.

Hello Ate Neym.
I began to get worried when I read your entry because I thought the hacker was only giving off rude messages but now, knowing that it also sends off virus, I'm worried. I really hope TG would survive this and I know the awesome mods there would do great.
xoxox,
Joelle (:
